Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to
questions if they contained copyrighted materials. After a very short
while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and
started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I
removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's
also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg
Churilov" cultist was ejected from
askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.
Anonymous asked this question on 5/9/2000:
What does scientology consist of as a religion?
honorarykid gave this response on 5/9/2000:
I do agree that there is a religious aspect of Scientology. The upper
level Scientologists are ultimately taught and do seem to really
believe that they are, in fact, immortal spirit beings, reincarnating in a
cycle of human bodies, and that only Scientology training will break
this cycle and free their spirits.
But let me just add, this. The fact that the CoS behaves as a
totalitarian political organization is the primary reason the CoS draws
so much public criticism and condemnation these days.
The religious components of Scientology, to me, aren't as noteworthy
as are that group's political machinations, and for exactly the same
reasons that occult beliefs were not as important as were the political
beliefs and intentions of the Nazi party during the 1930s.
